Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-notifier

Hi,

On xubuntu natty, update-notifier is unable to restart the system. It tries either with gnome-session or hal (Bug #437333), none of which is available on xubuntu.

The attached patch replaces the hal call by a call to xfce4-session. Could you apply it?
Thanks!

The hal code was added for Xubuntu, so it should be ok to remove it completely, but let's be sure:
@Julien: do you use update-notifier in lubuntu? If yes, do you need that hal code to reboot?

Yes it's used on Lubuntu. Is it possible to replace the Hal call by the consolkit one ? I think it's supported by both Xubuntu and Lubuntu.
